I appreciate your initial post and the explanation of your "bad day". We've all had them and manning up about it is appreciated.
@whart
I also appreciate your initial contribution as well as your humor above. The rat race often contributes in a negative way to our interactions. I've been to a few places where people are indeed "pretty gracious" and I want to relocate in hopes I'll become more gracious myself.
Crazyeddy, thanks for starting the thread. I hope it infects us all.
